Productivity and Profitability of Organic Farming Systems in East Africa, commissioned by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, and part of the second phase of the Organic Standards and Certification Capacity in East Africa (OSEA) project, which is funded by the Swedish government, reviewed studies on organic farming in East Africa (Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi).

Furthermore, those farmers who offer certified organic exports were more profitable than those using only conventional production.
